"Ah Bai, you..."
Watching as Li Zhibai skillfully shifted the bla for ’looking down on Yun Qian’ to Chang’an based on her own words, Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help but laugh.
Li Zhibai also has such an adorable side.
"Hmm..." Li Zhibai pondered for a mont, then said, "It also has nothing to do with Chang’an. Even if Ms. Yun has an excellent talent, I still want her to be touched by the aura of Enlightennt Tea."
Her original intention was to find out what special things Yun Qian could see through the Enlightennt Tea.
Improving Yun Qian’s cultivation speed and easing Xu Chang’an’s anxiety were rely bonus, inconsequential matters.
Thus, Li Zhibai was genuinely unaware of her own subconscious assistance to Xu Chang’an; she was purely indulging her own desires, using Ms. Yun as an experint.
"Let Yun Qian experience it..." Zhu Pingniang sneered.
Would that girl who stays ho all day even know what the Heavenly Dao is?
Speaking seriously, asking a girl who hasn’t cultivated what ’Dao’ is... who could answer that? Literally, maybe she could only think of it as a path for walking...
She really couldn’t fathom what Li Zhibai has in her mind.
Mind you, she too had felt the Heavenly Dao aura after drinking the Enlightennt Tea, though she hadn’t comprehended anything. But... Li Zhibai had never asked her how she felt.
Yet now, she was concerned about everything related to Yun Qian.
Was there such a gap between her and Yun Qian?
Zhu Pingniang lowered her head, glanced again, thought of Yun Qian’s neck, and really felt she couldn’t compare.
However...
She was more charming than Yun Qian, wasn’t she?
Oh.
What is charm but a ans to seduce n? In the eyes of girls, it’s deed improper, not a plus, and maybe even a minus.
Never mind.
If she can’t compare, so be it. She doesn’t need to compare with Yun Qian. After all, Miss Zhu is truly unrefined, unlike those who are married... without reason, they are simply not on the sa rank.
Still, speaking of the Enlightennt Tea.
Yun Qian’s body couldn’t withstand the imnse power of the Enlightennt Tea, thus extracting a milder portion beca necessary.
Zhu Pingniang said, "Ah Bai, actually after thinking about it, the aura from your Enlightennt Tea doesn’t necessarily need to be extracted into jewelry; directly giving it to Yun Qian to consu would work the sa."
For example, quickly making a pastry for Yun Qian to eat would have a similar effect.
"Wasn’t jewelry suggested by you?" Li Zhibai looked at her. "It’s more convenient."
Making it into jewelry wouldn’t thoroughly change Yun Qian’s talent; if she wanted to revert to a lesser talent, she could simply remove the jewelry.
"Convenient? What are you saying... Directly enhancing Spiritual Qi absorption won’t hurt; who would deliberately suppress their talent like you?" Zhu Pingniang sneered and reminded, "But that girl... doesn’t wear jewelry, right?"
Yun Qian’s makeup was even applied awkwardly.
"Yun Qian appears to be a daughter of a wealthy household, with no earrings... she barely uses pendants, so how would you give her jewelry?"
Li Zhibai thought for a mont before saying, "Jade Pendant?"
Like Chang’an, hanging at her waist.
"..." Zhu Pingniang sighed at the suggestion, "Whether it’s a Jade Pendant or Sachet, those shouldn’t be given by us... haven’t you noticed she never wears them? Even if she were to wear sothing, it should only be sothing given by Chang’an, not by either of us."
For girls, the significance of wearing close personal items like Jade Pendants or Sachets is extrely important.
Li Zhibai’s eyelashes trembled slightly, "I never thought about these things."
She only considered the problem from Yun Qian’s perspective, ignoring the genuine feelings of the other.
Indeed... in terms of caring for people, she was far inferior to Tong Jun.
Indeed.
Once Li Zhibai thought of Yun Qian’s character, she realized that Yun would surely prefer wearing items given by Xu Chang’an rather than those from outsiders like them.
Maybe, there really was only one path forward—accelerating her growth?
Fortunately, the aura extracted from the Enlightennt Tea had no side effects, so it couldn’t be considered acceleration.
Seeing Li Zhibai had listened, Zhu Pingniang waved her hand, "Alright then, I won’t prepare any jewelry; I’ll just extract the aura and set it aside..."
Anyway, if Yun Qian’s talent truly turns out poor, then I’ll just force it into her mouth.
Why bother with jewelry.
Zhu Pingniang considered the image of stuffing a ball of Heavenly Dao aura into Yun Qian’s mouth as amusing?
"Ahem." Clearing her throat, Zhu Pingniang picked up Li Zhibai’s wine cup beside her, took a sip, and then simply walked away.
Li Zhibai: "..."
She watched Zhu Pingniang’s departing figure, thinking that actually, extracting the Enlightennt Tea aura was sothing she didn’t need Zhu Pingniang to personally do, but... since she initially intended to help Xu Chang’an, it couldn’t be just Zhu Pingniang watching from the side; she had to contribute too.
After all, from the start, the desire to assist Xu Chang’an was Zhu Pingniang, not her.
Li Zhibai initially thought this way.
But she later realized she indeed couldn’t do without Tong Jun, as Tong Jun was always such a considerate person.
If it were her, maybe she would really give Yun Qian a Jade Pendant.
By then, with Ms. Yun’s personality, she probably wouldn’t have the thought of wearing it, even if Li said it was important; if it weren’t a piece given by Chang’an, it wouldn’t catch Yun Qian’s eye—like those hairpieces Yun returned when tried on with Yun Qian.
She could sense that Yun Qian probably liked those jewelry, after all, Xu Chang’an hadn’t seen her like that.
But...
"Chang’an?"
Li Zhibai blinked her eyelashes.
Not that she looked down on her own student, but Xu Chang’an thinks Wen Li is more charming than any man and finds her Daoist Robe decently styled.
To so extent, Li Zhibai indeed thought Xu Chang’an was sowhat hopeless.
Up to this point, he only dared call her ’wife’ in front of himself, always saying ’Miss’ in front of Yun Qian.
Such a shy boy, would he really have the thought of giving Yun Qian jewelry?
Unlikely.
Xu Chang’an wouldn’t even personally choose clothes, instead just picking from Beisang City’s Piluo Residence, equivalent to being Tong Jun’s daughter; with a regular shop, who knows what bizarre clothes he would choose.
As for ear piercings?
Li Zhibai now didn’t think much of them, akin to the swaying jewels on Tong Jun’s ears, she actually... liked them a lot.
Yun Qian with jewelry would also look gorgeous.
But would Xu Chang’an be willing to pierce Yun Qian’s earlobes?
No way.
Li Zhibai didn’t even need to think to know Xu Chang’an would certainly not agree to such a thing, but as a woman, Li Zhibai understood the importance of adorning oneself.
Ms. Yun... certainly wants to look beautiful for him, and wearing jewelry is indeed a straightforward way.
Ms. Yun wants jewelry.
But Xu Chang’an lacks intuition.
Therefore, since she called her sister, shouldn’t she also consider Yun Qian?
Li Zhibai isn’t like the gentle, all-considering Zhu Pingniang, but she can learn.
As a teacher, actually Xu Chang’an would seriously listen to her words.
Perhaps she could have a gentle conversation with this student about girls’ desire to beco beautiful, to see if it might enlighten him.
But Li Zhibai felt it was sowhat inappropriate for her to initiate this conversation. After all, she never dressed up, wearing that washed-out Daoist Robe, which lacked persuasive power.
Li Zhibai recalled another girl, greatly changed but very pretty, whom she saw today.
Wen Li.
She could still rember Xu Chang’an’s stunned expression upon first seeing the dressed-up Wen Li, finding it amusing.
It’s understandable that Chang’an was so surprised by the ’senior brother’ who suddenly beca so charming.
Have Wen Li tell Xu Chang’an about girls’ thoughts?
No.
Li Zhibai shook her head.
Although Wen Li was suitable, there’s a simple fact: would Xu Chang’an listen to Wen Li—the answer is no.
Only what she, as the teacher, says holds enough weight to possibly influence him in matters regarding Yun Qian.
Only if she personally steps in.
Li Zhibai gazed at the bustling night scene far away.
She... actually wanted to see what a more feminine Yun Qian would look like.
